How to Use a Whip Finisher

[@billdungan3709]

I’ve watched dozens of videos trying to learn this. Finally step by step by step! Thank you!

[@stephenp.5377]

Some of these videos are overly complex, but this one is perfect: straightforward and clear. And I like how you repeat the process numerous times. Perfecting the whip finish has been the most annoying part of learning fly tying, so this helps. Thanks!

[@gregtrent5068]

That was the easiest explanation I found in KZbin, thank you.

[@dankelly4417]

Yeah this is the best one

[@distantgalaxymusic1447]

Easiest explanation ever. I always did these by hand. 30 years ago all I had was books and it never work. I took my whip finisher and bent it to death with pliers and then cut it into pieces with wire cutters out of frustration back then, just so I’d never do it again. 😂 Just got back into tying flies and that was easy. I watch 4 other videos and got no where. Thanks!

[@DonYourBackpack]

Best most simple demo I have found so far. I finally got it! Thanks!

[@protopiper5567]

Finally a worthy explanation. The frisbee analogy combined with showing each step several times was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[@davidscbirdsall]

This explanation made the use of the whip finisher and this knot tying process so easy to understand that I can also do this using my fingers too.

[@pawpaw5717]

Perfectly preformed Now even this old dude can finally complete. Thanks!

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Thank you for this! The whip finish step always messes me up. I've watched every video I could find without much success.. Your explanation made it easy and I finally got it!

[@chrisdouglas2025]

I have tried watching a few videos on how to do this without success, after watching and following this guide, something just connected and it totally made sense, the shouts of joy brought the house running. Something so simple once you have seen it done correctly. Thank you.

[@gregg9768]

Excellent demonstration and explanation. I have referenced your video several times to understand how to use this tool. Thanks for taking the time to step through this and add your tips to remember how to use it.

[@rayboudewyn4557]

One of the best videos on Whip Finisher, very clear and understandable. You made it look easy. Well done! Thank you!

[@cheesburgerpicnic7276]

Oh my goodness! Why can everyone explain so succinctly! Dude , you made perfect sense of this , thank you!

[@WaltetGerstner-nq4jl]

Thanks for the very good close up video of this using the bright pink thread to see even better

[@colino21]

Thank you man! Every video I’ve watched they go so fast. But you took the time to show it multiple times!

[@jeremiahurban2457]

I’ve been typing my own flies for 25 years and always threw the whip finisher away cus I could never figure it out. My flies would always fall apart cus my scruffy fingers would cut up the thread but this was a amazing explanation on how to use it. Thank you.

[@traceteboda8701]

[@willdykema]

I’m so much better at hand whip finishing but I want to get better at this, your tutorial explains it better than any other on KZbin so thank you!

[@rodc4334]

Third video on the topic was a charm. And shortest too! Thank you!

[@daviddrejing-carroll1947]

Thank you, someone that finally actually describes what you need to do

[@deezynar]

[@ekundayowt]

The best explanation so far. Thanks

[@gabenicoll8408]

Best demo! Really great for righties (most are shown flip-flopped which makes things hard).

[@kaoyang6965]

[@GmanfromTexas]

[@crtreasures1136]

Very informative video. Getting ready to order a kit and start tying. This video answered one of my questions. Thanks for the demonstration. Take care.

[@brooks3559]

first helpful video i could find!

[@Rmonty1957]

Thanks for your tuition, everything you say about skin is me. Had this tool for some time now and not been able to use it until watching your well put together video. Thanks for your help 👍

[@markhansjahrling5648]

Straight to the Point 🇺🇸

[@michaeldye6505]

Finally a useful video! Thanks for breaking it down Barney style for dumb guys like me!

[@Spactoaster]

This was so helpful! I really wondered what this tool was for. I feel kind of silly now for finishing them by hand.

[@arcticcatt1]

Thank you for sharing and giving a simple excellent explanation, this is the best video I’ve seen. God bless.

[@NookBoo]

I’m tying flies like crazy but whip finishing just isn’t going smooth for me

[@jeffhawkins900]

Thanks, Jason

[@WhereWeWild]

This seems so simple, and yet I’m struggling to get it right. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 Practice makes perfect I guess. 😁🤙🏽

[@stevenclagg8053]

[@0neTwo3]

I thought maybe you died! Lol. Thanks for the vid... great process for showing how it works.

[@jasonklass]

LOL, no, I've just focusing on my tenkara fly fishing blog now: tenkaratalk.com/. I took a hiatus from backpacking for a while, but am getting back into it. I just ordered a Quarter Dome from REI for a trip coming up in a couple of weeks so hopefully I'll get some video from that. Thanks for missing me guys!

[@striperhunter-ic2wt]

thank you

[@ericcoffin]

Outstanding

[@marcgooglegauthier]

Merci.

[@marlonb.8243]

I’m left handed 😢. But you know what? I can fly cast with either hand, but have a hard time using a whip finisher 😢

[@rockfishmiller]

OK, who invented this?

[@briantalbot7929]

I'd rather use my fingers, seems easier and faster

[@vasiliymitsuk3911]

Too mach lab lab lab.

[@frankfields2411]

Thank you
